The Black Horse Inn, Lewes

A great surprise. Just chanced into this pub without knowing much about it to find loads of good ales including some great Dark Star choices and by luck a new chef and menu. Me, my wife and son tried three starters first which were really lovely. I had the crispy mushroom dumplings. That is all we were going to eat before heading further into town but as it was so good we stayed a while and then had mains including venison meatballs, perfect gnocchi and the like. Then we even squeezed in some treacle pudding and plumb creme brulee with home-made Florentine. The staff were very pleasant as well, making us most welcome.

We are definitely going back as it was the best pub experience we've had for a long time and we were told they are about to light up there Two open fires.

Highly recommended - I'll see you by the fire for whisky.
